well, the flickering is almost entirely gone. But I wouldn't say
entirely, but probably behaves like the screen of normal PC, so I

If done right there should be no flicker at all. But it depends on what
you are calling "flicker". Generally, the screen image is rendered in
layers, with foreground bitmaps/text overlaying the background ones.
Depending on how complex your rendering is (read: time-consuming) your
elements may seem to flicker on/off as the layering cycle repeats each
time you draw the screen. That's the flicker I'm talking about, and it
will be entirely eliminated by using offscreen windows. The image will
appear all at once, with no flicker from the beginning of the rendering
to the end. But if you are talking about animation, and the
"smoothness" of a graphic moving around the screen, then, yes, that kind
of "flicker" will still exist, since the moving image must be drawn in
discreet positions on the screen.
